It's the holiday season, Christmas time once again, and we are right in the thick of it! How is it going for you? Is all your Christmas shopping done? I'm still actively gift searching and loving every minute of it. I enjoy walking around the malls and shopping centers looking at the displays and observing the hustle and bustle of the people going by. I must admit, I do alot more looking than actual buying but I enjoy it all. Christmas music on the radio since Thanksgiving weekend, shopping and looking since Black Friday, all's right with the world...
Every Christmas season brings memories of Christmas Past, my past, growing up on Staten Island, NY. I recall tree shopping with my Dad. It always snowed when we were out picking a tree from one of the corner lots. The Christmas lights were strung across Victory Blvd. and Manor Rd. from light pole to light pole. Ribbon candy and maple sugar Santas. Ice skating at Silver Lake. It was usually so freakin' cold my ears felt like they would fall off if I didn't cover them! I remember visiting the big tree at Rockefeller Center and walking down 5th Ave. looking at each store's Christmas window decorations. Wonderful memories!
What kind of memories are you making this year that you will look back on in the years to come? Make them happy ones.
